IRRIGATIN BOTTLE AND SYRINGE.

' Application filed June 17, 1927. Serial No. 199,487.

My invention relates to medical apparatus and more particularly to a medicine container and syringe combined.

.The primary object of my invention is to provide anirrigating bottle and syringe for holding liquid medicines or solutions and for ejecting. a predetermined amount thereof from the container in the process of treating ailments or diseases requiring injections.

A further object is=to provide a combined container and syringeof the character described which will occupy the space of an ordinary bottle, which is convenient to use and which easily may be kept in a sanitary condition. y 1

Other objects and advantages will appear hereinafter and while I show herewith and will describe a preferred form of construction, I desire it to be understood that I do not confine my invention to such preferred form but that various changes and adaptations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention as hereinafter claimed.

Referring to the drawings which accompany this specification and form a part thereof,

Fig. 1 is'a sideview of a combined container and syringe, embodying the princi ples of my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the container and syringe shown in Fig. 1, the section being taken in a vertical plane through the center thereof. p i V r Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional "View of the container and syringe, taken on line 3--3 of Fig. 1. t I

Fig. 5 is a side view of my combined container and syringe with the .removable part of the syringe unscrewed from the container, the latter being shown partly in section and partly in elevation, to illustrate its operation.

Fig. 6 is a view in perspective of the sanitary cap which is used to cover the syringe portion of my device, when not in use.

' 7 is an enlarged sectional view of the F1 cap shown in Fig. 6, the section being taken lon itudinally thereof. i

is an enlarged transverse sectional.

view of the inner part of thesyringe barrel, the section being taken on line 88 of Fig. 5. l Fig. 9 is an enlarged View in perspective of the inner itself.

As indicatedby referencenumerals the apparatus consists, in detail, of a glass con tainer 10, resembling an ordinary bottle, with a recessed bottom 11 having a central opening equipped with a soft rubber bushing 1:2. The bushing is provided with an annular groove adapted to receive the edge 13 of the opening, whencompressed and inserted therein, whereby it is retained in place. The container is made with an externally screw-jth1eaded neck 14, within. which is sealed or otherwise fixed a tight-fitting lass tube 15, extending downwardly there rom within the container. 15 is closed except for a central opening 16;

and a series of spaced apertures 17 are made through thewall thereof, somewhat above its closed end.

A screw-cap 18, adapted to screw onto neck 1 1- of container 10 is made of fibre, hard rubber or the like, and a second glass tube 19, exactly coinciding in thickness and diameter with tube 15 is fixed in cap 18 so that when said cap 18 is screwed onto neck 14 the lower end of outer tube 19 butts against the upper endof inner tube 15'and the two tubes combined to form a barrel or cylinder for-the syringe, portion of the device' The upper end of outer tube 19 is provided with a cone-shaped tip or nozzle 20 with a smallcentral opening 21. A glassplunger rod 22, of afdiameter to tightly-fitin bushing 12 and a length somewhat less than the combined lengths of container 10 and outer tube 19, is inserted downwardly through opening 16 in tube 15 and bushing 12 before cap 18 and tube 19 are screwed into place, said plunger rod having aterminal bead 23 on its upper end and a collar 24; in spaced relation thereto. A soft.

rubber disc 25, of a diameter to fit ti htly within cylinder tubes 15 and 19 and a t ickness equal to the space between bead23 and collar 24, and having an axial opening approximately equal in diameter to that of "a tiger rod .22, forced ever bead 23 part of the syringe barrel by The lower end of tube bottom of the container so thatit willrest firmly when placed on a plane surface. A red mark 27 and a blue'mark'QSare made at spaced points on the plunger rod to indicate the position of the piston.

A glass or metal nozzle-cap 29, cylindrical. in form and 01 a diameter to fit outer tube 19 -loosely enonghto be readilv removable therefrom with a twist, is slipped over nozzle 20. The nozzle-cap is partially filled with cotton 30,or other absorbent material, satu rated with'a suitable antiseptic liquid, so that it serves not only to prevent leakage from the containerbut also to disinfect the nozzle.

lVhen the container is to be filled cap 18 r is unscrewed and removed, together with outer tube 19, 'from' the neck thereof and plunger rod 22 isactuated by means of bulb 2610 pull piston 25 below apertures 17 in inner tube as-shownin 5. Red mark 27 appears just below bushings 12 to indicate that position. The liquid is poured into tube 15 'andflows through apertures 17. heir thecontainer is properly filled cap 18 is screwed back onto its neck 1% and nozzle cap 29 is placed on nozzle 20 to prevent leakage. The container is then inverted whereupon the liquid 'reenters apertures 17 fillingithe syringe barrel completely. The plunger is now pushed inwardly until blue mark'SUis just visible outside of bushing 12. \Vhen thusadjusted piston is in a position, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, to

close apertures 17 and prevent a backward fiow therethrough from the barrel into the container. The container is now turned upright and cap 19 is removed, whereupon the device is ready for use as a syringe, the barrel thereof containing a suitable-amount-oi the liquid for a dose. -The liquid is ejected, as is evident, by pushing .the plunger inwardly until bulb 26 comes in contact with bushing 12 and piston is in the upper end of outer tube 19, as shown in full-lines in Fig. 2, in; which positionthe piston serves l as a water-tight bearing;

as a stopper. Nozzle-cap 29 is replaced after use so as to keep the nozzle sterilized.

Having thus illustrated and described my invention, I claim:

1. An irrigating bottle and syringe com prising a bottle shaped container; a bushing fixed in the bottom of said container to serve a syringe barrel fixed in the neck of said container, so as to extend partially inside and partially outside of said container, said barrel having aper tures' opening within said container; a

plunger working in said barrel above and below said apertures, so as to admit liquid into said barrel and to eject it therefrom, and a plunger rod connected to said plunger so as to actuate it, said plunger rod extending' through said bushing so as to be oper able through the bottom of the container.

2. An irrigating bottle and syringe comprising a bottle shaped container; a bushing fixed in the bottom of said container to serveas a watertight bearing; a syringe barrel fixed in the neck of said container; said syringe barrel being made in two abutting parts, an inner part fixed in the neck of the container and an outer part fixed in a screw-threaded cap adapted to screw onto the 'neck'thereof, said inner part having apertures adjacent the lower end thereof opening into the container and said outer part terminating in a nozzle; a plunger working insaid syringebarrel' so as to admit liquid thereinto, from said container,'and to eject it therefrom through said nozzle, and a plunger rod connected to said plunger, said plunger rod extending through said lnishing so as to be operable through the bottom of the container."

3. A combined container and syringe comprising a bottle-shaped vessel adapted to hold liquid, said vessel having a neck and a screwthraded cap fitted thereon; a syringe barrel fixed in said neck and cap in two sepa rable parts, an inner part extending within the vessel and an outer part remo able with said cap; a plunger working in said syringe barrel so as to adniitliquid thereinto, from said vessel, and to ejecta predetermined quantity of the liquid therefrom, and a plunger rod connected to said plunger "so as to be operable through the bottom of the vessel.
